Crémieu medieval city
Presentation
Located 40km away from Lyon, the medieval city of Crémieu has an authentic and impressive architectural legacy. The first buildings are from the 12th century. Thanks to the map of the town, with its numbered dots, you can discover all the interesting spots.
The Delphine castle (12th century), on its strategic headland, is an evidence of the evolution of the city: massive strenghthen doors (14th century), a majestic covered market (15th century), an Augustinian convent alongside the defences of the city(14th-19th century) and its cloister (17th century)...
All of these remains show the glorious past of Crémieu, when it had a military, economic and religious importance.
The medieval city of Crémieu is classified as a ZPPAUP (Urban and Rural Architectural Heritage Protection Zone).
